ANYONE know when the Pampered Perk of the Apple discount will take effect??
 
My daughter has a Pandigital Planet tablet that runs Anroid and I have been impressed with it, especially since the price runs around $199 or less.
 
I will have to say I am waiting for the new APP BEFORE I DO ANYTHING.... there are a few other tablets out there I would like to consider to see if the app will work before spending the so outlandish price on an IPAD... I know I am just bitter the price isn't lower... lol. I think if I do go Ipad I will save up a tiny bit more and get the new one, IF I FEEL I NEED AN IPAD AT ALL. I already have the iphone and really wish they would release the APP for us even if it is just to play with or something.... I really wanna see how it works, before I get all hyped and set that I want any ipad or tablet of any kind. I really hate the whole think I need to keep up with the fab of everything and with the economy the way it is I have to stop, lol... OR BOOK A TON MORE SHOWS, which would be phenominal. ;) I was driving today and in my drive I passed like 3 junk yards and thought. THERE SHOULD BE A FREEZE ON MAKING NEW CARS UNTIL SOMEONE COMES UP WITH A WAY TO REUSE OLD CARS OR GET THEM BROKE DOWN AND NOT JUST SITTING AROUND.
Maybe it is just me but I really feel horrible for the way the environment will be for future generations b/c people just don't seem to care. I know off topic, but just my thoughts for the day. lol.....
 
This article says they've dropped the price of the Ipad2, but only by $100 to $399.http://www.imore.com/2012/03/07/apple-announces-ipad/Unless it goes waaayyyy down in the days and weeks ahead, I'll save my pennies for an ipod touch. I need brakes a whole lot more than I need an Ipad.
 
I can't say I'm surprised. Apple almost NEVER has a sale. They don't need to! Even on their old stuff! Yet even at the $399 price, people will scoop these up and they will be gone. It still doesn't hurt though to watch those other retailers to see if they offer the bonus incentives.
 
If it had been more like a Kindle or Nook (especially price wise) I was going to be all over it. As it is, I have gotten a smart phone (a couple of weeks ago) and am learning it. I think I will wait until the app is out and see how it is on my phone (since the phone seems pretty okay- not feeling as stupid as I expected). If the app would be seriously better on the IPad, I will consider it later. Right now I am just going to wait a bit longer..

If that's as low as they go, hell, I'll save and get the most current one. I can say that I'm disappointed and will most likely wait until the app comes out for my phone and see how it goes.
 
To be honest, I never really wanted one and think I'd rather have an I-Pod Touch anyway. It's more portable and easier to carry around, usable for music and Angry Birds.I had 4G on my old MP3 and it was all full but in this, I wonder if 8G will be enough.Here's another article on it:
iPad 2 lives!
 
I just got off the phone with HO because I was having P3 issues and while I was waiting for manual updates to load, I asked how large the new app was and she was very quick to say she didn't have that information. (sigh) I'm sure we will find out soon enough! I may just die if I have to uninstall my Words with Friends! lol
